I have been consuming collagen for years. Numerous scientific studies have reported the
beneficial effects of collagen supplementation for a variety of problems
including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, skin, nails and
hair quality! In fact, it is
recommended that everyone who has reached their 25s to consume collagen daily
to keep youthful.

With the mission of ‘Give back to your SKIN what TIME has taken
away’, EWL has introduced Mirae Collagen recently. Mirae in Japanese means futures.
EWL aims to build the future of young for their consumers.

This is the first time I try a Collagen brand from Thailand.
Yes, you read it right, Mirae Collagen is a product of Thailand. Using imported
material, which is the tilapia skin from Japan, it is processed by GMP
Manufacturer in Thailand.

Mirae Collagen has 90% collagen and 10% Fibre & Vitamin so
it is easy to absorbed into human body. And what so special about Mirae
Collagen is that the collagen is colorless, odorless, no precipitate and 100%
water-soluble. The best part for me is it tastes like melon juice! Now, forget that
fishy taste collagen; because Mirae Collagen is so fruity and tasty.

Mirae Collagen is sealed tight before open

Mirae Collagen is an unisex product. It function is to repair the whole body
and cell. It also helps for defecation. Depending on your body, you will
start seeing effects by continue consuming for 1 week.

Direction to consume:

The first week - 1 day 1 spoon/10g (equivalent to 9000mg)

Following week – 1 day half spoon/5g (equivalent to 4500mg)

It is best to consume at night for better absorption.

A jar of Mirae Collagen is 130g and it could last up to 19 days with continuing
using. The plastic jar could be recycled to store cookies or candies too,
talking about eco-friendly huh.

I made a right choice to bring my new Etude House Play101 Pencil No. #55 with me to the beach vacation lately. Etude House Play 101
Pencil is a gel-type pencil
that comes with vivid colors and various textures for easy and fun makeup play.
The multi-functional
101 Pencil could be used to draw eyebrow, eyeliner, eyeshadow, blusher, lip
liner or lip color.

Etude House Play 101 Pencil No. #55 is in chili red
color. Its glossy texture made it easy to glide on without pulling on the skin.
The color is really nice and intense.

It is easy to use, just twist to dispense the
amount you needed and apply on your desire area. The pencil comes with a
sharpener but since it is retractable hence I do not bother to use the
sharpener. I’ve used Etude House Play 101 Pencil No. #55 as blusher and lip
color on a sunny afternoon during my vacation; it lasts on my skin for hours
under the hot sun.

Now, it is always in my makeup bag as it is easy to
carry around and easy to use.

They will be giving out free door gifts for first
300 shoppers who register at the event on 29th Jul 2015. (Queue
starts at 11am at Bukit Bintang Entrance)

Not only that, we also get to meet the famous
Japanese Mango character, Chibi Maruko Chan 樱桃小丸子 as she makes her first debut appearance in
Malaysia! , Chibi Maruko Chan 樱桃小丸子 was my favourite
character back in teenage time. I even had her actual size doll gifted by
boy-friend back then.

Don’t miss the chance to shop for official Chibi
Maruko Chan merchandises and enjoy fun-filled activities such as Wanage,
Katanuki, and more at the first Chibi Maruko Chan Land in Malaysia from 29th
Jul to 9th Aug 2015.

Located at
Taman Cahaya, Ampang, there is this hidden restaurant that serves mouth-watering
Thai Seafood BBQ delicacies almost every night. As many local KL people would
have known already, yupe I was referring to Nong & Jimmy Thai Seafood BBQ.

Exist for
more than 20 years now, Nong & Jimmy Thai Seafood BBQ is one of the best Seafood
BBQ restaurant in KL town. Prepared with the old fashioned goodness, the BBQ spread
is absolutely amazing; It has definitely fulfilled our seafood cravings.

Yao Zha Guai
(deep fried crullers) with Homemade Pandan
Kaya

This is one of the
signature dish at Nong & Jimmy Thai Seafood BBQ, my hubby just can’t get
enough of this! The mini sized yao zha guai were fresh and crispy, with a taste
of sweetness by dipping it to their homemade pandan kaya. This snack is simple
yet yummy.

Mango Salad (RM 12)

I like sour food, but I find Nong & Jimmy’s mango salad is not up to par. It ended up became leftover at the end of the dinner.

Grilled Crabs
(RM 70 per kg)

One of the signature
dish at Nong & Jimmy is their crabs. Using large and fresh hard-shell crabs
only, grilled crabs definitely catches everyone’s eyes at the BBQ rack as well
as on the plate. However the grilled crabs were a bit overcooked during our
visit hence making them dry and rubbery.

Black
Pepper Crabs (RM 70 per kg)

We
preferred the Black Pepper Crabs from Grilled crabs. It tooks a few steps for Nong
& Jimmy to prepare their Black Pepper Crabs, which turns out taste fresh
and juicy, yum!

Butter
Prawn (RM 44 per 500 grams)

My most
favourite dish at Nong & Jimmy was their butter prawn. Big fresh prawns
cooked in butter style, they not only smell great but taste wonderful too with
the crispy and well-seasoned egg floss.

I attended the most playful, pinkish
and dreamy party by Korean beauty brand – Etude House at Connexion @ NexusBangsar South last month. It is the 7th anniversary for Etude House
Malaysia, hearty congratulations to you Etude House Malaysia!

The theme of the day was
black with pink elements; I wore my little black dress and put on my mini pink
jacket to attend the party.

Outside the hall comes this beautiful
photo booth. Everyone busy taking pictures with the cute giant cuddly pinky
bear, for sure I would not missed it too.

It was a fun-filled event. We learnt Korean
makeup tips and tricks from Etude House’s Korean make up artist (MUA) that day.

She showed us how
to achieve flawless skin with the latest Precious Mineral Any Cushion SPF
50/PA+++. It is really easy and fast by take an appropriate amount with the Air
Puff provided, pat the face lightly to apply. We could also pat with additional
layers to enhance coverage or to correct makeup.

Precious Mineral Any Cushion contains
Sebum Control Powder that smoothly adheres to skin to capture excessive sebum
for smooth skin without stickiness or oiliness, and Pearl Mineral Powder for
long-lasting clear, bright, and radiant skin without dullness.

Then, she taught
us the latest KBeauty trend – the ‘Aegyo Sal’ which is to make the under eye
bag look bigger for innocent look. Last but not least, she also shared with us
how to use the multi-functional 101 pencil as eyeliner, blusher and lip color. It is easy
to create the stylish gradient lips with Etude House 101 pencil(RM 45.90).

Bright, radiating and imperfection-free
complexion is the current trend in Asia, especially in Korea. We have seen
Koreans having perfect skin, which definitely comes from their dedication to
the #kbeauty routine and lifestyle. Unfortunately we are not eating kimchi
everyday here in Malaysia but we could try to adopt #kbeauty skincare routine
to achieve that perfect glowing skin.

Many brands have launched instant whitening
products these few years. Despite their amazing instant whitening effect, I am
quite skeptical to use them on face because I’m scared of the dangerous bleaching agents such as hydroquinone
and hydrogen peroxide.

Dr. Jart+ V7 range has introduced
their new addition of AMAZING Brightening cream this year: V7 Toning
Light which is a cream moisturizer with added 7 Vitamins to brighten
skin on the outsideINSTANTLY and also from the inside.

V7 Toning Lightinstantly
tones and evens up skin, diminish
yellow skin tone to a healthy pinkish-beige glow. It gives skin a naturally
beautiful smooth flawless texture. It also avoids skin darkening, lasts all day
long and waterproof. Thanks to the Jade Water
ingredient, it does not dry skin out. In fact,
my skin felt hydrate and fresh after applying it.

In long run, its
Licorice extract ingredient will improve skin turnover and Induces collagen
generation internally.

Have you
balik kampong in this holy month of Hari Raya Aidilfitri? I remember while I
was young, my Muslim neighbor invited us to their open houses and treated us
many yummilicious traditional Malay delicacies, one of it is Lontong.

As a
popular traditional Malay dish, Lontong is soupy, gravy and yummy. What I like
about Lontong is its special taste, and it taste spicy mildly unlike curry that
was so spicy and I hardly eat.

Since we
moved to a new house 10 years ago, we have not have chances to taste our neighbor’s
Lontong anymore. When I discovered the new Mamee Chef Lontong, I quickly gave
it a try and it did bring back nostalgic memories.

The new Mamee Chef
Lontong rides on Chef Ismail’s Lontong paste that makes the flavour of the
product similar to the actual dish. It is so unique that the noodles using the
Mi Tarik technology, making the noodle chewy and yummy.

Each Mamee Chef
Lontong pack comes with chilli and vegetables condiments for a more authentic
experience.

Meanwhile, Mamee
Chef recently appointed popular Malaysian actress and celebrity Nora Danish as
its Brand Ambassador. Nora clicks perfectly with the Mamee Chef brand and was
chosen for her intelligence, confidence, lifestyle consciousness and her hectic
schedule – being a busy professional and mother of a young child.

In conjunction with this,
Mamee Chef had organised a movie premiere of ‘Suamiku Jatuh
Dari Langit’ where Nora acts as typical village girl who is the daughter of a strict village
chief.The movie was about her love
story and how she found her true love in the romantic comedy film. We all had enjoyed the comedy movie at GSC Sunway
Pyramid with some of the casts.

Happy pic with popular Malaysian actress and celebrity Nora Danish

“I am honoured to be selected as the
new celebrity Brand Ambassador for the Mamee Chef range. I love how Dato’ Chef
Ismail has used his culinary genius to capture authentic well-loved flavours in
the noodle soup, and of course Mamee Chef’s unique noodle cake further adds to
a tasty dish served up in every cup or packet of Mamee Chef. It’s very simple
and easy to prepare and the cup variant is extra convenient for me, as I am
constantly on the go with my hectic schedule,” Nora shared during the movie
premiere and buka-puasa dinner at Shogun, Sunway Pyramid not long ago.
